Pearl's father's gaze was focused on Benjamin; he couldn't believe he had the guts to step his foot in here; he thought he was someone capable when he entered, not knowing he's useless. Pearl has disappointed him; if this is the man she wants to settle down with, it's a slap to their family.Benjamin immediately positioned himself properly. He knows Pearl's parents from back then in school. The look on their faces tells him they are mad at him. Elvis utter.“You damn bastard, why are you holding my wife's hand? How dare you, you crazy bastard? Get your hands off her immediately.”Pearl's father's death stared at Benjamin, and fear gripped his heart. He wanted to let go of Pearl's hands, but Pearl held on tight as she stood in front of Benjamin.“I would not let him go. I have been hiding my feelings for years now, and I wouldn't want to lose him when I'm so close to getting the man I love.”He pointed at Elvis.“I can't believe you want me to get married to this thug who doesn't h
Pearl's father didn't listen to Elvis's words; he knows Pearl doesn't tell lies, not in this kind of situation.He faced Marcus.“It's a pleasure to meet you; my daughter has said so much about you.”Pearl's Mother quickly stepped in with a bright smile all over her face. “So nice to meet you.”Marcus smiled and from the look of things, Pearl's parents didn't listen to Elvis's words, which is good to hear.Marcus greeted them before he pointed at Benjamin.“He's my friend, Benjamin.”Benjamin walked closer to them as Marcus continued. “Please pardon his attitude for not properly introducing himself. He works directly under the umbrella of Sam Yellow Company, and he's a consultant to all other companies under Sam Yellow Company.”Pearl's father's eyes widened immediately, and his legs vibrated. He heard what Marcus just said. He couldn't believe he was busy yelling at someone who could help them out of the mess his company found itself in; he even told him to get out.He shakes his h
Sharon and Emily froze; none of them could even move their lips. How is it even possible that Pearl has successfully defeated them again? They can't laugh at her anymore. Instead, it's better they pretend as if all is well between them again.Sharon immediately faked a smile as she walked to Pearl and hugged her.“I'm so happy for you. Thank goodness you didn't give up on your crush. Now your determination is paying off. You deserve it, baby girl.”Emily knows she can't be left behind if Pearl unfriend her because she is the only one She tells her crush does not have a job, not knowing it is just a test, but her big mouth can't keep quiet. She went ahead to tell Sharon. Now that she sees where it has landed, she can't lose her friendship, not when she is about to become a professional actress.She faked a smile.“I'm so happy for you, darling. You deserve it. Your patience and hard work are about to pay off.”Pearl's face turned poker. She knows they were just pretending to be frien
Marcus was saddened when he heard the announcements of the Berry estate project, which almost made Pearl's father lose his business and almost made Pearl get married to a bully like Elvis. He's going to help them.“Don't worry, sir, we will help you. I'm friends with Douglas, and I'm sure he can get you space inside JSK shopping mall.”Pearl's father's eyes widen immediately when he hears JSK shopping mall, is not an ordinary shopping mall; it's the biggest in Summerville. He heard that the least money each store makes a day is millions. This will be a game-changer for him. “If that can be possible, it will make my company even better with our branches all over the city; it's definitely going to make us ten times better.”Marcus nodded. He brought out his phone and called Douglas; his phone was answered.“Hello, young master.”Marcus went straight to the point.“Is there any available space for a store inside JSK?”Douglas nods.“Yes, young Master, we don't give it out; it's only f
Emily remained in her position with panic written all over her face. She stayed because Sharon and Pearl are still here; it would be wrong and embarrassing for them to see her running away.Elvis couldn't take the nonsense behavior of some of his coward friends. They run away as if he's not here; a little fly like the manager can't lay a finger on him, and who does this big fool think he is anyway?“That's Enough!!”His voice stopped the ones that were panicking. Elvis glanced at everybody's face before he moved forward to Richard; he will settle this himself since his family isn't here yet. He saw the panicked look on Pearl's friend's face. They seem to be worried also. He needs to show them how capable he is so Pearl can be jealous; with this, she will know how reliable he can be and how useless his boyfriend is.Elvis walked closer to Richard.“It seems you don't recognize me; I will pardon your ignorance just this once, I'm from the Zen family, and I demand an explanation for
Elvis tried to move again, but his back hurt so much that he couldn't even stand up straight with pain written all over his face. He can't wait for his father to see what a mad dog has done to him. He knows what his father can do, soon they will stop existing, useless bastards who dare lay their hands on him. He's going to make sure his father deals with all of them; no one should be speared.Richard saw Elvis struggling on the ground, and he ordered his men.“Come drag this thing out of here immediately.”His men moved into action immediately; they grabbed Elvis and raised him up like a baby. He screamed out loud.“Auw, Auw, Auw....”Take it easy, you punk.The men did listen to him this time, and one of them pressed his back, which made Elvis almost faint as he screamed out loud again.“Aaaauuuuuwwww”“Damn you, you bastard, you did that deliberately, bastard… I hate every one of you.”Everyone in the hall didn't say anything, but watching how Elvis was carried out for someone who
They all smiled upon hearing what Pearl's father just said.“Who wouldn't be happy when his daughter just introduced his rich boyfriend to them, and everyone was focused on him and his friend when they entered the hall?Without being told they know they're not ordinary men?”said one of the ladies, while the other added.“The gifts and the manner in which he presented himself says a lot; they dealt with Elvis as if his family were nobody, not to measure their jobs; they are definitely from a top second-class family or even first-class family, which is why I don't know any of them.”Both of them started praying. Their daughter opened their eyes to see what a fellow young lady just did. She is getting married to a man of her dreams, capable husband material, not a poor bastard who pretends to love their daughter just to marry into the family and later run away with their money.Benjamin walked closer to Marcus. He knows it's because of him he made it this far, but he's worried he doesn
Elvis' father couldn't believe he was in this condition. He looks like someone who had an accident. The doctor said he was lucky not to have broken his spinal cord.By the look of things, he does not have any bruises on his body. Someone did this to him, and he wants to know.“Elvis, who did this to you?”Elvis managed to use his hands to wipe his face.“Pearl's parents, they have been lying to us, they never told us she has a boyfriend. You know, today was supposed to be my engagement party, but I was surprised when she introduced her boyfriend to her parents, and they accepted him with open hands and evil threats to keep me out. When I tried to confront them, the useless boyfriend of his friends pounds on me with the help of the manager of MZK, they threatened me and said I should inform every member of my family not to step their feet inside MZK again. That is the last thing I can remember.”Elvis couldn't stop his tears.“Father, you need to see how I was humiliated and treated as
